The Tormach CNC Scanner turns your PCNC into a high resolution 2D optical scanner and reverse engineering system. This is a unique tool has hundreds of uses, including toolmaking, artistry, repair and restoration, precision measurement, and quality assurance, to name a few.

CNC Scanner utilizes a Mach3 plugin to take a series of photographs where the camera is automatically positioned for each photograph with CNC motion. A dimensionally scaled photomosaic is then assembled by stitching photographs together to build a larger image.

After the photomosaic is assembled, it can be opened in Tormach CNC Scan CAD, a simple 2D CAD program with basic functionality for measuring distances and tracing shapes. This information can be exported as an industry standard .DXF file to other CAD/CAM programs for further work.

CNC Scanner uses a spindle mounted adjustable focus USB microscope camera that features our Tormach Tooling System® quick change mounting system. It is also compatible with any CNC mill that utilizes Mach3 control software. Requires a spindle that is capable of holding 3/4" shank, such as R8 or MT-3

Co"plete CNC Scanner package contains all hardware and software necessary to integrate with a PCNC or other Mach3 controlled mill. Includes 1.3M USB 2.0 microscope featuring 10-50X continuous magnification AND 200X discrete magnification. Plastic shell.

Included Software: Tormach CNC ScanCAD (with hardware license key dongle), and Mach3 Plug-ins for Tormach CNC Scope and CNC Scanner Utilities.
